Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[Nineteen67]

TTOE chokes it away.

 

[BallardEra]

Why. Caps too. Pens could get to 90 pts. Caps have to win to clinch.

Yes but they played Lindgren tonight and Kuemper is garbage.

 

[TMLegend]

That just about takes care of the Pens. They need to win and the Caps and Wings have to lose in order for them to get in now. Unlikely to say the least.

Isn’t Philly out now?

They could tie caps in Pts and reg wins but caps have more ROW. Is that the order?

 

[Jojalu]

For those really hoping Pit misses, the harshest way would be for Phi and Mon to win tomorrow and Pit to lose to the Islanders Wed.

I personally like Crosby and Karlsson more than the indifference I feel towards Dubas bit to each their own

If they win in regulation I think they get tiebreaker against the Caps in goal differential.

Wow, Raymond the hero, he's turned into a nice player for the Wings. 30 goals and 70+ pts on the season. The 2020 draft class seems to be living up to the hype lately, a really solid top 5 now with Lafreniere, Byfield, Stutzle, Raymond and Sanderson, plus other guys like Jarvis, Neighbours, Mercer, Perfetti, Quinn, Zary, Schneider, Lundell, Guhle, Greig etc. turning into useful contributors to their respective teams.

Of course Leafs pick was used to get out of the Marleau deal and Carolina drafted Jarvis with it meanwhile our selection tragically passed away (RIP Amirov). I have no doubt that if Amirov didn't get cancer he'd be a pretty solid player for us right now.

I just looked it’s

1. RW
2. ROW
3. W
4. Head to head.

So flyers are out im pretty sure

I had them written off
Yzerman plan is back in action

Lol. Negative 25 vs negative 38.

Even if they beat Caps, they would need Wings to not get a point and for Pens to lose.

Just saying that the Caps seem to fold against the bubble teams.

I'd say Wings have the best chance for last spot.

If flyers beat them in regulation, they will be tied in the first 3.

If the caps and wings lose in regulation all they have to do is tie and they’re in with 32 regulation wins.

 

[crump]

Wings with two big emotional wins. All coming down to the last game of the season for the last wild card. Mind blowing.

The official tie breaking procedure:

Tie-Breaking Procedure​

If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order:

1. The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).

2. The greater number of games won, excluding games won in Overtime or by Shootout (i.e., 'Regulation Wins'). This figure is reflected in the RW column.

3. The greater number of games won, excluding games won by Shootout. This figure is reflected in the ROW column.

4. The greater number of games won by the Club in any manner (i.e., 'Total Wins'). This figure is reflected in the W column.

5. The greater number of points earned in games against each other among two or more tied clubs.

• For the purpose of determining standing for two or more Clubs that have not played an even number of games with one or more of the other tied Clubs, the first game played in the city that has the extra game (the 'odd game') shall not be included.
• When more than two Clubs are tied, the percentage of available points earned in games among each other (and not including any 'odd games') shall be used to determine standing.

6. The greater differential between goals for and against (including goals scored in Overtime or awarded for prevailing in Shootouts) for the entire regular season. This figure is reflected in the DIFF column.

7. The greater number of goals scored (including goals scored in Overtime or awarded for prevailing in Shootouts) for the entire regular season. This figure is reflected in the GF column.

NOTE: In standings, a victory in a shootout counts as one goal for, while a shootout loss counts as one goal against.

How? Do they count the Rw and Row both? If you win a game you get one in the rw and row?

I Guess that makes sense? Ok then my mistake

You need to be a lawyer to figure that out. Lol.

How many times have they played each other?

 

[Evilhomer]

It's a shame that after all that Ottawa ensured that we don't get to watch an Islanders/Rangers series. Garbage franchise is even garbage when they try to play spoiler.

They've been fun to watch.

 

[weems]

I really hope Detroit gets that last spot.
They were such a force when I was a kid and started watching the NHL closely.
The NHL is better when Detroit is doing well and in the playoffs.

Could be this year's Panthers. On second thought. No.

I liked their uniforms the best. So I vote them.

The rangers win the president trophy this year with «only » 114 points.

They win the presidents trophy tonight with a 55-24-4 record.

The leafs had a 50-21-1 record and 111 points last year, and a 54-21-7 record and 115 points 2 seasons ago, and it was still not good enough to win it….

Because last year, Boston had the best regular season ever in nhl history. 2022-23 bruins: 65-12-5 record= 135 points

And the panthers in 2022 had the best regular season ever in their history
2021-22 panthers: 58-18-6 record =122 points

In a normal year, the leafs would have won it. In most seasons, 110-115 points are good enough to clinch the top seed in the entire league and secure home-ice advantage for the entire playoffs.
